Jared Kushner, Netanyahu and the Failed Gaza Peace Plan

<>

Jared Kushner met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. The visit came directly on the heels of Israel rejecting a 15-point Gaza peace plan promoted by President Trump’s Board of Peace.

The Mechanics of the Rejected 15-Point Plan

Under the discarded terms, Hamas would gradually disarm and transfer governance responsibilities to an international force.

Instead of accepting the framework, the Israeli government insisted on a revised prerequisite structure. Middle East analyst Mouin Rabbani characterizes the Israeli stance—backed by Kushner—as a deliberate poison pill designed to stall negotiations by demanding Hamas’s complete disarmament before any Israeli withdrawal.

According to Rabbani, Israel pushed for terms stating it would be entirely exempt from enacting any of its obligations until Hamas achieved full disarmament.

Rabbani points to a deep ideological and political alignment between the Kushner family and the Israeli leadership, which complicates the viability of honest brokerage.
